Emergency Procedures Flashcards
Emergency Action Guideline
procedures for all conceivable situations, especially those involving multiple failures. In certain unrelated multiple failure situations, Flight Crews may have to combine elements of more than one procedure and/or exercise judgement to determine the safest course of action.
The PM will operate the radios so the PF concentrates on flying the aircraft. However, either pilot may operate the radio as common sense dictates.
Unless otherwise directed in the “_______ Checklist,” the following is a general priority guideline of the standard action items for an engine malfunction:
Complete memory items.
If required, call ATC and state “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY…” and advise of any required clearance deviation.
Example: “MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY, Porter XXX, Engine Failure/Fire, (engine fail procedure), please standby.”
PF will call for the Emergency Checklist
PM will action the appropriate Emergency Checklist items and confirm the memory items have been actioned correctly.
After Flight Crew discussion, conduct the ABCs:
Advise ATS of a plan and declare an emergency as appropriate
Advise Cabin Crew by conducting a TEST Briefing
Advise Passengers with the scripted PA
Advise SOCC via radio or ACARS
Example Briefing:
“Ladies and Gentleman this is the Captain speaking. We have completed a precautionary shutdown of the (right/left) engine. We are completing some checklists at this time and I would like to assure you that the aircraft is quite capable of flying on the operating engine. We will be (diverting to _____) / (returning to ____) and landing in approximately ____ minutes. I would like you to follow the instructions given by the flight attendants at all times. Thank you. Once we arrive in _____ our ground staff will be standing by to provide any services that you require. We thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.”
Note: The PA announcement to the passengers must not be given until after the Purser confirms that all cabin crew members have been briefed. Do not consider the PA as notice to the cabin crew of the situation.
Ground Failures/Rejected Takeoff (RTO)
3.5 Ground Failures/ Rejected Take Off (RTO)
Ground failures are defined as any malfunction that occurs on the ground prior to V1 or after touchdown.
In the event of a ground failure the primary objective of the crew is to stop the airplane, assess the problem, and evacuate (if required). This applies to all situations whether on the gate, taxiing, or during takeoff.
A takeoff will normally be rejected for any Master Warning, Engine Failure or directional control issue prior to V1. There are many reasons other than warning lights for discontinuing a takeoff. It is left to the discretion of the Captain as to what additional situations constitute a rejected takeoff. At or above V1, the takeoff will be continued regardless of the malfunction.
If a rejected takeoff becomes necessary, the call “ABORT” will be made by either pilot. If the PF is the First Officer, the Captain will normally assume control at approximately 60 knots. The First Officer will advise ATC of the abort. The Captain will set the parking brake. The crew will then assess the situation. If the reason for the abort is fire or smoke, the Captain will complete the memory items for shutdown and evacuation. The First Officer will advise ATC of the problem, call for the emergency equipment, and advise number of persons and quantity of fuel on board.
If a Master Caution Light illuminates during the takeoff roll, the PM will call the malfunction and cancel the Master Caution and state “CONTINUE.”
